Vigil held for public education

0 THE VIGIL WAS HELD TO PROTEST
THE PROPOSED CUT TO UF'S
UNDERGRAD EDUCATION PROGRAM.

By THOMAS STEWART
Alligator Staff Writer
tstewart@alligator org

The fight against the potential cut of UF's
undergraduate education program got off
to a dark, cold and slightly windy start last
night outside of Norman Hall.
About 150 people huddled together, some
holding battery-operated candles, to listen to
local education leaders protest UF's decision
to consider cutting the two undergraduate
majors in the College of Education.
"When I heard the news, I couldn't be-
lieve it," Leanetta McNeally, principal of
Duval Elementary School and a UF alumna,
said of UF's proposal.
"I thought, 'Ludicrous,"' McNeally said.
"We cannot sit down and do nothing."
Jim Brandenburg, principal of Alachua
Elementary School, said cutting the under-
graduate programs would not only affect the
students at UF but students all across Alach-
ua County, because many local schools use
interns from UF's programs to help teach
their children.
At one point during his speech, the
blown-up pictures of children that flanked
the lectern were toppled by the wind, at
which point Brandenburg quipped, "I guess
it's symbolic the pictures of children are fall-
ing down because they're particularly vul-
nerable to the changes being proposed."
In between speakers, students from the
College of Education performed a skit to
poke fun at UF's priorities during budget
cuts. Logan Jaffe/ Alligator

UPD officers recount amusing calls, bizarre situations

By APRIL DUDASH
Alligator Contributing Writer

Editor's note: This is the final
part of a two-part series about
veteran UPD officers.

The safety net
UPD is used to treating UF
as a "small city," one that keeps
patrol officers busy with bizarre
calls and amusing situations. Sgt.
Walt Hamby has had a full-time
job with UPD for almost 20 years,

which has led to many stories in
his patrol arsenal that are usually
Special too "inappropriate"
Report to share, he said.
A memory that
stuck out in Hamby's
mind was when he was perform-

ing a routine patrol early one
morning and he found a student
lying in the grass behind Graham
and Trusler halls. The student,
who had obviously been drink-
ing, asked to be taken home.
When the student couldn't

recognize his residence, Hamby
realized he had been visiting
from Florida State University.
"He thought he was in Talla-
hassee on FSU's campus," Ham-
by chuckled.

Grand jury charges mom in son's death
PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. (AP) A grand jury has charged a Port
St. Lucie woman with premeditated, first-degree murder for allegedly
smothering her 8-year-old son to death Christmas Day.
Police say 31-year-old Eryn Allegra gave the boy eight Advil pills
to put him to sleep Christmas Eve, then early Christmas morning suf-
focated him with a pillow in a hotel room. Investigators say Allegra
then tried to slit her wrists, but the blade she used was too dull. She
dialed 911 and was taken to a local hospital.
Allegra said she had been having financial problems since 2007.If
convicted, Allegra faces either life in prison or a death sentence.

For some people, four years at UF
just isn't enough.
Luckily for them, the Florida Legis-
lature is considering a bill that would
allow UF and the other 10 state universi-
ties to house the ashes
of alumni and uni-
versity supporters on
their campuses.
The bill was passed
unanimously by the
Senate's Banking and
Insurance committee
Orlando on Wednesday.
It still needs to pass through two
more committees before the full Senate
can vote on it.
An identical bill has been introduced
in the House.
The bill would allow for the construc-
tion of a columbarium, which house cre-
mated remains, on five acres or less of a
university's campus.
Current law requires new cemeteries
to be at least 30 acres.
UF spokesman Steve Orlando said
UF is in favor of the idea.
"There are a lot of people out there
who have just an enormous attachment
to this school, and this is a way of help-
ing honor that request," Orlando said.
He said UF's columbarium would

STUDENT LIFE
Students visit Silicon Valley
Twelve graduate students from
the UF School of Architecture trav-
eled to California to learn how
Google and Intel design and man-
age their properties.
The trip was sponsored by the
Gainesville Chamber of Com-
merce, and now that the students
are back, it's their mission to apply
what they saw to their own design
plans in Gainesville.
David Ramsey, director of eco-
nomic development for Gaines-
ville's Council for Economic Out-
reach, said the city wants to attract
more high-tech companies and
industries with creative building
designs.
Ramsey said Gainesville is al-
ready a hot spot of such develop-
ment, but the city is too tight on
space to provide interested firms
with work areas.
The sites the students visited
are some of the most progressive
and successful in the field.
"Google is like a creative ma-
chine," Ramsey said. "Being
around that, bringing some of
those ideas back to the communi-
ty... I can't tell you how incredible
that is, how resourceful that is for
us and what we do here."
Sihui Ma, a student on the trip,
said she believes in the power of
innovative office cultures.
"I think the point of the whole
trip was to study alternative cor-
porate cultures versus the one we
think...the traditional kind with a
cubicle."

advanced studio class all the in-
volved students are taking, said
he thought the trip was a great
success.
"It was a real informative
trip," he said. "I think we learned
a lot about the next generation
office environment."
The trick now is to shape those
ideas to the Gainesville area.
"You can't just mimic what
you see somewhere else," said
Wes Hogan, another student.
"It's really about individual city
culture."
Ramsey thinks the intellectu-
al power coming from UF helps
make Gainesville a great place
for new ideas.
"Every community says, 'we
want to be high-tech,'" he said.
"In this community we can."

Student lies to police
A UF student was arrested
Tuesday after he lied to police
about being robbed.
At around 12:30 p.m. Michael
Hughes, 20, called the Gainesville
Police Department and told offi-
cers that he had been robbed by
two men with knives, the GPD
arrest report stated.
According to the report, be-
cause of the severity of Hughes'
call, GPD sent two officers, two
detectives, a supervisor and an
evidence technician to his apart-
ment at 1225 SW 1st Ave.
When they arrived, Hughes
told officials that he had made
the story up, GPD spokesman
Mike Schibuola said.
He told officers he called be-
cause he wanted to heighten law
enforcement patrol around his
apartment complex. He said for
the past three months "strange
people" would come to his door
asking for Xanax, the report stat-
ed.
According to the report,
Hughes told officers he missed
an important meeting Tuesday
morning, misplaced money his
mother gave him and was under
stress because of school.
During the investigation, offi-
cers found a large white pipe on
the kitchen counter and a glass
bong on top of the refrigerator.
Hughes admitted to using them
for smoking marijuana, the re-
port stated. Hughes was charged
with making a false police report
and possessing and using drug
paraphernalia.

energy costs by 22 percent.
The first buildings to be re-
lamped will be the Administration
Building, the Health Department,
the Sheriff's Office, the Commu-
nity Crisis Center and the county
jail.
The partial re-lamping of the
Administrative Building has al-
ready resulted in $1,200 in sav-
ings, and the savings are expected
to increase as the county contin-
ues to replace the bulbs, Alachua
County Facilities Manager Charlie

"Reducing energy costs is the
right thing to do," Jackson said. "It
results in both cost savings and a
reduction of the county's carbon

UF has never spent more than $1
million in a given year.

UF student senators passed a bill
that gave $35,130.86 to UF's Board

'Sexy' orchestra concert to debut today on campus

By KATIE EMMETS
Alligator Writer
kemmets@alligator.org
Sexy, passionate and murder-
ous are not words typically used
to describe an orchestra concert.
But those are some of the words
conductor Matthew Wardell used
when talking about tonight's
UF Symphony Orchestra perfor-
mance.
At the Phillips Center for the
Performing Arts at 7:30 tonight,
the UF School of Music will pres-
ent three musical pieces and a bal-
let.
Winners of the 42nd Annual

Concerto Competition will per-
form, followed by a ballet by B6la
Bart6k, "The Miraculous Manda-
rin."
Wardell said two out of 25 stu-
dents who auditioned won the
School of Music's concerto com-
petition. Concertos rely on a back
and forth "conversation" between
soloist and orchestra.
Yefim Romanov, the under-
graduate winner, will perform
Tchaikovsky's "Concerto for Vio-
lin and Orchestra." Although the
piece is difficult to perform, it is
a passionate attention grabber,
Romonov said.
Anastasiya Naplekova, the

"The orchestra, the con-
ductor, the soloists and
the dancers are all prod-
ucts of the College of Fine
Arts."
Matthew Wardell
UF conductor

graduate student winner, follows
with a performance of Rachmani-
noff's "Rhapsody on a Theme of
Paganini."
After intermission, the UF
School of Music and the UF School
of Theatre and Dance will perform

a ballet with original choreogra-
phy by Ric Rose, associate profes-
sor of dance.
Based on the ideal that all be-
ings deserve satisfaction, Bart6k's
"Miraculous Mandarin" is a chill-
ing story told through sex, greed
and violence.
After its first showing in Co-
logne, Germany in 1926, the bal-
let was banned and torn apart by
censors because of its graphic con-
tent.
Although it has been performed
since then, it wasn't until 2000 that
the score was restored to its origi-
nally intended form, Wardell said.
Unlike many large-scale col-

laborations, this concert will be
performed strictly by students.
"A lot of times performances
like this will include faculty mem-
bers and hired professionals," he
said. "The orchestra, the conduc-
tor, the soloists and the dancers
are all products of the College of
Fine Arts."
The performance will be a buf-
fet for both the ears and the mind,
said cellist Evan Kassof, a music
composition and physics double
major.
"It's an emotional experience,"
Kassof said. "There's nothing that
we are playing tonight that some-
one can't relate to."

Fraternities sign hazing pact to improve reputations

* THE PACT ENCOURAGES
ACCOUNTABILITY.

By CAROLYN TILLO
Alligator Contributing Writer

UF's Interfraternity Council met
to sign its first anti-hazing pact at
Beta Theta Pi Fraternity house on
Wednesday night.
The pact encourages members
of the council to hold each other
accountable in their efforts to elim-
inate hazing practices, and it calls
for an emphasis on anti-hazing

education within UF fraternity
chapters.
Clay Mathews, president of
the Interfratemity Council, read
the pact before it was signed by
the presidents of the 25 fraternity
chapters that make up the council.
He said hazing is not congruent
with the value-based nature of the
council and its members.
After the signing, Patricia
Telles-Irvin, vice president for Stu-
dent Affairs, mentioned her expe-
riences as a sorority sister at Duke.
Telles-Irvin added that the pact
is important because it holds coun-

cil members accountable to each
other in their actions to end haz-
ing.
She said although hazing is a
tradition, UF faces a new genera-
tion of students who are not afraid
to speak up about
On hazing practices.
Campus Telles-Irvin also
said that, during
these times of economic difficulty
and budget cuts, UF fraternities
must maintain a positive reputa-
tion if they want the parents of
pledges to pay for their sons to join
fraternities.

She also said fraternities play
an important role in maintaining
UF's reputation.
"This university is striving to
be one of the top 10 public institu-
tions, and you play a role in that,"
she said. "You are very much a
part of getting there."
Stephen McClaughlin, the pres-
ident of Beta Theta Pi Fraternity,
sees the pact as a way of augment-
ing the Greek community.
"We've had some downfalls in
the past," he said. "We just need to
grow from there."
Matthew Panzano, the presi-

dent of Delta Upsilon Fraternity
and a member of the committee
which helped create the pact, said
because he is an only child, he
joined a fraternity to experience a
sense of brotherhood but was ini-
tially deterred by fears of hazing.
He said he appreciates the unity
that the pact represents.
"I'm just hoping to see some
progress, that's all," he said.
Mathews said anti-hazing re-
sources for students and parents
will be available on the Interfrater-
nity Council's Web site at greekga-
tor.com.

UF student wins more than $12K in prizes on 'Wheel'

By AMBER EHRKE
Alligator Contributing Writer

Last night, about 30 of Krystina
Gustafson's friends packed her living room
to watch Wheel of Fortune projected onto a
white sheet tacked to the wall. She was about
to relive her $17,700 win on the show.
Though she wasn't nervous for the bulk
of the taping, she said she dreaded seeing
herself on television.
"I was more nervous about watching it
than I was about filming it," she said.

Whenever she watched the show with
boyfriend Greg Kastner, Gustafson figured
out the puzzles before the contestants on
TV. But Gustafson said the game was easier
from the couch than on the set.
The show tryouts started in October, in a
sweltering mall parking lot filled with a sea
of other potential contestants in front of the
yellow Wheelmobile Winnebago.
When her name was drawn from hun-
dreds of other information sheets submit-
ted that morning, she had been waiting for
two hours, with the sunburn to prove it. She
clamored to the stage, introduced herself

and fulfilled the announcer's request that
everyone on stage dance.
Two weeks later,
Gustafson was selected
to move on to the second
round, with a four-hour
series of mock Wheel of
Fortune games and written
puzzle-solving tests. Three
weeks after that, she was
Gustafson called and told she made
the show.
In December, she finally got to compete
on the show she had watched since she was

a toddler.
"I'm usually really competitive, so I fig-
ured I would be pretty cut throat," she said.
"Once I got there, though, I was just so ex-
cited to be on the show that I didn't really
care."
After the taping, Gustafson kept quiet
about her winnings. But last night, her
friends gathered to watch Gustafson win a
$1,000 gift card to Maui Jim Sunglasses, an
eight-day trip to Cabo San Lucas, $11,000
cash, which she designated for rent after
graduation, and, above all, the title Wheel of
Fortune winner.

It looks like a cigarette in every
way, but, instead of paper, there is
a hard casing.
Instead of fire are mechanical
innards. And instead of smoke, the
user breathes in nicotine-infused
mist.
The new electronic cigarette, or
"e-cig," has been making its way
into the Gainesville market, but lo-
cal health officials, who agree with

the Food and Drug Administration,
are skeptical of the product's claims.
"I've had some people say they real-
ly like them," said Naoma Hunlock,
a manager at the Kangaroo on North
Main Street, which sells NJOY brand
e-cigs.
Almost all of the starter kits have
sold out, Hunlock said. For $70, the
kit includes an atomizer, which cre-
ates the mist and is shaped like the
butt of the cigarette; two batteries,
shaped like the stem; a charger; and
five nicotine cartridges, roughly
equivalent to two and a half packs

"You can smoke it where
you cannot smoke nor-
mally. It's also a healthier
way to smoke, because the
carcinogens are gone."
Adi Weiss
Smoke Anywhere employee

of cigarettes. Cartridges are sold in
packs of 10, in flavors like apple and
menthol, for $20.
Adi Weiss, who works at the

Smoke Anywhere kiosk in Oaks
Mall, has several suggestions for the
possible use of e-cigs.
Because the starter kit he sells in-
cludes four different levels of nico-
tine, ranging from that of a normal
cigarette to none, he suggested that
it could be used to help smokers
quit.
"You can smoke it where you
cannot smoke normally," he said.
"It's also a healthier way to smoke,
because the carcinogens are gone."
While these claims have not been
tested extensively, Weiss believes

that as the market grows, research
will confirm his statements, he said.
But Maureen Miller, a tobacco
prevention specialist at UF, believes
that these claims could be mislead-
ing to consumers.
"The fact that it mimics smoking
will definitely not help with quit-
ting," she said. "I would not endorse
this product."
She is also concerned that until
the FDA has time to research e-cigs,
there could be unknown health risks
associated with the product, she
said.

UF RESEARCH

Profs invent new bandage that promotes faster healing

By REBECCA WEISS
Alligator Contributing Writer

A team of UF professors and alumni, spon-
sored by Quick-Med Technologies Inc., has
created a new adhesive bandage that repels
bacteria and promotes faster healing.
The product, which received FDA approval
last week, will be sold in stores come July and
will aid in the creation of anti-bacterial mili-
tary clothing and more effective hand gels.
Known as the NIMBUS, the bandage is the
first and only non-leeching, microbicidal bar-
rier dressing.
"We were trying to make a better wound-
healing bandage that would absorb wound
fluids and kill bacteria," said Chris Batich,
professor of materials science engineering and
associate director of UF's clinical and transla-
tional science institute.
"Bacteria can't grow in it, and noth-
ing comes out of the Band-Aid and into the
wound," said Batich, who invented the ban-

dage with fellow UF professor Gregg Schultz
and UF graduate William Toreki.
"Potentially, you can leave it on lon-
ger, and it should promote healing faster."
Most bandages absorb wound fluids into the
bandage material, creating an area in which
bacteria can easily grow.
Because white blood cells are unable to
fight these new bacteria, the wound may be-
come re-infected, and the bandage will start to
smell.
The NIMBUS technology binds a large
polymer to the surface of the gauze fibers
said Gregg Schultz, professor of obstetrics
and gynecology in UF's institute for wound
research.
Other dressings contain microbes such as
silver, which may slow the healing process.
NIMBUS also gives the bandage fibers the
ability to kill bacteria from the wound and
bacteria that are resistant to other antibiotics,
such as MRSA, a staph infection that cannot be
cured by many common antibiotics, Schultz

said.
"This stuff kills those bacteria, the staph
bacteria, very effectively," Batich said, refer-
ring to the bandage's make-up. "99.999 per-
cent of the bacteria that
touch it get killed."
According to Schultz,
studies show the NIMBUS
bandage could be worn for
seven days without having
to be changed, versus other
dressings that contain large
Batich quantities of bacteria after
24 hours.
Ultimately, Schultz said the FDA decided
to classify the bandage as a new medical de-
vice.
"This took three years to get approval.
There was a lot of back and forth talking to the
FDA," he said. "Because it has FDA approval,
companies have decided to license it. They
start selling it around June this year."
According to Batich and Schultz, the whole

process took about nine years.
"When we first started out, it was sort of
Batich, Toreki and me," Schultz said. "As we
became more successful in understanding how
to do this and how to make it more effective,
Quick-Med kept enlarging the lab, and now
there are 7 full-time employees in Gainesville
- they're all UF graduates."
Schultz said the major breakthrough oc-
curred because of UF graduate Toreki.
"What we developed the first time worked
great in the lab, but it didn't work well and
scale up to industrial levels," Schultz said,
adding that Toreki made the manufacturing
process fit for a broader scale and less costly.
Due to the bandage's usefulness and rela-
tively low cost, Batich and Schultz explained it
can be put toward other uses.
Another technology that Quick-Med and
UF are working on revolves around a longer-
lasting hand disinfectant. It would bond the
NIMBUS onto the surface layer of skin, which
would be disinfected for about six hours.

down during spring break
Perhaps the understatement of the year would be to say
that we live in a time of economic uncertainty.
Scour the headlines featured in major news outlets,
and you will quickly learn the latest in recession-proof tricks
to save cash at the supermarket or what counties across the na-
tion are currently suffering the worst unemployment rates.
Yes, without any hint of uncertainty, America is enduring
one of the harshest times in its history. Yet, what are we sup-
posed to do? How should we respond other than by giving
our goddamn best shot at leading a decent and fulfilling life?
Take another gander at The New York Times or CNN.com
and you'll read about the recent tragedies that are making
their way into water cooler conversation. Just down the road
in Clearwater, three men, two of which were NFL players, pre-
sumably lost their lives in the wake of a fishing trip gone ter-
ribly wrong. Word out of Pakistan informs us of a terrorist at-
tack on a Sri Lankan cricket team that left players and coaches
injured after gunfire riddled their bus with bullet holes.
Yes, even the semi-charmed lives of professional athletes
are not guaranteed a tomorrow. For the Sri Lankan cricket
team, will their ever-so-close brush with death cause them to
reassess their outlook on life? If they had perished, would the
members of the team have been satisfied with what they ac-
complished during their short time on Earth?
The unfortunate incidents in Florida and across the globe
paint a stark picture that should serve to remind us that we are
guilty of taking our lives far too seriously.
We must dig hard and dig deep to find some semblance of
good to come out of our country's dire state of affairs. Perhaps
a return to the core values of America can work to reunite a
country that has placed too much of an emphasis on the ma-
terialistic, tangible items of disillusionment that have bred a
corrosion of morals and ethics.
To say that life is fleeting comes across as nothing more
than a trite cliche that gets recycled and regurgitated every
few months or so.
Yet, when people fail to heed such advice, do we really
even retain the right to declare that this adage is overused?
Do we not need an occasional reminder to keep from falling
victim to the stress that stems from factors out of our control?
We can only begin to guess how much time we have left
on Earth that is not to say we are suggesting you give up
everything and become a missionary or a priest.
Rather, simply be grateful for what little (or what riches)
you may have a shortcoming few are more guilty of than
this very author. Those blessed souls who can find pleasure in
the things that come without a price tag are, indeed, the true
lucky ones.
Surely this will not occur overnight, but rather should be
viewed as a gradual process that will eventually reap the fruits
of your labor if you should choose such a righteous path.
As we go our separate ways for the week whether to
Acapulco or simply a quick jaunt home the Editorial Board
implores you to take a deep breath and catch yourself before
you get caught up in a stressful financial situation that easily
could have been avoided.
So what if you had to dish out $8 for a bottle of Corona
at the bar or your mom yelled at you for spending too much
money during a shopping spree at the mall?
You are young, you are alive and even in the worst of times,
you will eventually find your way.
Nothing seems more apropos than to steal a line from
Against Me!'s Tom Gabel: "Please tell me I'm not the only one
that thinks we're taking ourselves too seriously/Just a little
too enamored with inflated self-purpose."
At least for us, it rings far too true.

Column

Partisanship proves grand ol' loyalty

ipartisanship is a dream; a glorious fantasy
thought up by politicians who wanted to turn the
public against their opponents. In all practicality,
it doesn't exist.
All people with strong beliefs are, by definition, par-
tisan. When partisan individuals share similar beliefs,
as they often do in our two-party system, these beliefs
develop into "partisan issues." And when an individual
holds a belief that doesn't fit his usual partisan paradigm,
he is hailed as a bipartisan hero.
President Barack Obama is demanding bipartisanship
from the Republicans. This means that he wants them to
support his agenda whether or not they agree with it. For
some reason, Americans overwhelmingly desire biparti-
sanship from their politicians, even though in any other
discipline but politics this would be called "selling out."
Yet, liberals demand this from conservatives. They
want them to abandon their conservative principles and
embrace moderate (read: liberal) Republicans like Gov.
Arnold Schwarzenegger and Gov. Charlie Crist. Alliga-
tor columnist Matthew Christ on Monday went so far as
to call the moment Republicans sought principle instead
of the big-government status quo was "when the modern
Republican Party died."
Republicans already tried big government. We just
went through eight years of unprincipled, big govern-
ment, big spending chaos under former President George
W. Bush. The results of the following election: epic fail.
The last thing Republicans need is bipartisanship.
They need a one-sided, no compromise derailing of the
federal leviathan. Conservatives believe that the big gov-
ernment that Obama has determined to create will make
our country worse off, and only by acting steadfastly in
their opposition can they defeat his policies.

Yet when Gov. Bobby Jindal
says this, everyone touts it as
the end of his political career.
Yes, Jindal gave a poorly
delivered speech. The southern
bumpkin thing doesn't work
that well for him. Get over it.
Johnathan Lot Jindal's speech, which is
letters@alligator org
_________ an excellent speech in writ-
ing, stressed a willingness to
cooperate, free market principles and hope in American
ambition. The speech was hardly the end of the Republi-
can Party. Republicans are far from dead; they are alive
and kicking. Liberals are quick to hop on a mistake as
the death of their opponents, and use this to demand ac-
quiescence and "bipartisanship" from the demoralized
GOP.
Now this would be the death of the Republican Party.
The Republicans cannot be a "me too" big government
party; they will only succeed where they meaningfully
differentiate themselves from the Democrats. They must
fight big government uniformly and make it their pri-
mary election issue.
Most Americans are not ideologues; they are self-
interested pragmatists who vote for whoever fosters the
economy. If the GOP can successfully blame the coun-
try's problems on big government, then they will retake
power overnight. If they give in to bipartisanship, then
they become "Diet-Democrats" who stand for nothing.
So go out and proudly call yourself a partisan. It
shows you have convictions, beliefs, and a willingness to
do what you know is right for your country.

Guest column

Middle ground is needed in dueling gym column debate

I am not about to resort to the name-call-
ing that Spanky from the Little Rascals,
or a certain journalism-and-German ju-
nior at UF for that matter, would employ
as his first response to a female threaten-
ing his self-proclaimed territory.
For, unlike a 7-year-old prepubescent
male, I see a disturbing significance in re-
ferring to the gym, or any public space, as
divided between a "female" and a "good"
side. Yet, before I delve into the absurdity
of these "unwritten" rules of the gym that
Joshua Nederveld tells of so confidently, I
must bring to light the further implications
of Emily Congdon's prompt response.
Emily, while your endeavor to de-
nounce Nederveld's dismissal of women's
benching as "chauvinistic" is noteworthy,
it still perpetuates the ideal that predomi-
nant male ability in the gym is the touch-
stone to which women should aspire. Your
surefire praise of "plenty of other [girls]
who squat just as much as most guys" and
denouncement of "2.5 pound-lifting, nail-
breaking girls" as "annoying" is detrimen-
tal to your claim from a feminist perspec-
tive; are you, too, suggesting that women
should just go to the gym to obtain some

almighty brute strength?
Can they not just go to release some
endorphins, tone, relieve stress, etc? In
addition, how dare you fall into the trap
of classifying women as "pretty girls" and
"tomboys?" And how dare you call men
"gorillas?"
Surely, you cannot be so simple-mind-
ed as to disregard the complexities behind
gender identity and assume that "pretty
girls" have to lift 2.5 pounds while "tom-
boys" bench-press. In your response,
which you likely deemed a heroic, wrath-
ful calling out of patriarchy's connotation
of woman as deviant, you actually man-
aged to maintain Nederveld's negative
stigma attached to woman as "the angry
girl," or the "dollish RecSports girl with
platinum blonde highlights" and other
mythical figments of femininity that clas-
sify women as inferior.
It would be very easy to call Nederveld
a "chauvinistic, pea-for-a-brain, wannabe
meathead" as Congdon has so powerfully
done, yet I know that this is just what he
wants.
Nederveld, your "unwritten rules" can
be applied to all aspects of society, and yet

I fear that they
Kelly Korman will soon come
Speaking Out to show you just
where you really
fit into them. I
see that you are
a journalism major -you, the hypermascu-
line macho male who can lift more than a
woman, you with your high-demand de-
gree will undoubtedly be the breadwin-
ner of the family to boost that tiny ego of
yours.
Excuse me, is that an unwritten rule
you're breaking?
My legs may not be slender and I may
not own a fire-red bust-boosting one-piece,
but I am a lifeguard who frequently hits
the gym and lifts "silly" weights so that in
the unlikely event that you drown while
"people-watching," I can pull you out of
the water and save your life.
Are you certified, Mr. Fitness?
Oh, Nederveld, the world is chock-full
of common misconceptions that you have
been unfortunately blinded into believing
are common truths. I am happy to say that
unlike your unlucky counterparts you will
likely never be branded as "effeminate,"

for heaven-forbid your half-naked, sweaty
strong-holds on your male workout part-
ners would ever be taken as anything but
upholding the highest essence of hetero-
normativity.
The only value behind your astute ob-
servations, which you generously deem
paralleling those of Jane Goodall, is that
they reveal the nonsensical nature of the
"good" side of the gym and that women
surely need not be intimidated by bench-
ing to their heart's content. Speaking of
Goodall, for your information she studied
chimpanzees, not gorillas. Funny how you
pride yourself in your unparalleled rec-
ognition of the differences between male
and female gym-goers yet simultaneously,
journalism major, fail to distinguish one
entire species of ape from another.
Pray, take a moment from your monu-
mental "revolution" and try to distin-
guish it from a pathetic act of cowardice.
(That was a trick statement, I know it's
actually impossible). To reference your
anti-90s, anti-Kelly Clarkson godsend that
is AC/DC, "To those without a cock, we
saluuuute you!"

ers from Williams Elementary
that asked UF President Bernie
Machen not to take away their

student interns.
Katie Milton, a doctoral stu-
dent in the College of Education
at UF who started the Facebook
Group "Save Undergraduate
Education at UF," said after the

event that she thinks UF's deci-
sion to consider cutting under-
graduate education and nursing
programs at UF smacks of sex-
ism.
"I think it's not a mistake that

nursing and education were both
specifically targeted when those
are the two highest populations
of women we have on our cam-
pus," she said.
"If UF wants to go back to be-

ing an all-male college then they
should come right out and say
that," she said.
"They shouldn't kick off their
two dominant populations of
women."

Spots would cost between $3K and $5K

likely be built near Lake Alice at the Medicinal Gar-
dens. A preliminary artist's rendering depicts a series
of short, unassuming brick walls with square open-
ings for storing urns.
He said UF plans to sell the spots for between
$3,000 and $5,000, but does not plan to make any
money off the sales.
If the bill passes, he said UF would wait until about
300 spots were reserved before starting construction.
Other schools, like Notre Dame and the University
of Virginia, already have columbaria on their cam-
puses.
For those who don't fancy the idea of having their

ashes placed on display, there are other options.
Orlando said UF gets about a dozen calls a year
from people wanting to have their ashes spread on
Florida field, which UF has no problem with.
He also admitted some people may spread ashes
around other parts of campus without asking.
"If somebody wanted to go do that at Lake Alice
they could simply go do it," he said. "We would never
really know about it."
Another option is to be buried in a UF-themed cas-
ket. Collegiate Memorials, based in Macon, Ga., sells
them for $3,290 each. UF gets a 10 percent licensing
fee on each casket.
"It wouldn't be my personal choice, but I have no
doubt there are people out there who would think
that is a wonderful thing," Orlando said.

The Patrol Division constantly has to be observant
and prepared to respond to calls concerning students,
Gainesville residents and visitors. While
Officer Ray Metrick waited for a potential DUI last Fri-
day night, a suspicious call popped up on his computer
screen.
He went from being parked in the lot to speeding 50
mph down Museum Road in seconds. He was rushing to
support another officer in case the situation turned ugly.
A few street lamps illuminated UF's Surge Area off
Archer Road. A little sports car was parked under gnarled
branches that rocked from the cold wind. A flashing po-
lice car was already there, and two police officers were
conversing in concentration.
Metrick stepped out of the car and into the cold. Other
cars zoomed by on Archer Road as he ambled over to join
the other officers. It was a DUI.
A man who looked to be in his 30s stumbled and
swayed his way through his early-morning field sobriety
tests.
He couldn't touch his nose or walk a straight line. The
breathalyzer back at the station would read that his blood
alcohol content was well over twice the legal limit.
Metrick helped administer the field sobriety tests with
an unruffled patience that comes with years of experi-
ence. He had rushed to the scene before anyone could
assign him the task. As he lay down silver tape on the
uneven road, an unspoken trust flowed between the three
officers.
Every officer had help only minutes away that night.
Metrick described law enforcement as a type of "brother-
hood," an unspoken dedication to assist new officers and
to admire police who have been active in law enforcement
for a decade or more.
"There's always an understanding that you've been
around," he remarked.

Eurydice

enthralls,

enchants

ASHLEY ROSS
AVENUE WRITER
How does a person remember to
forget?
This is just one of the stimulat-
ing questions "Eurydice" raises in
its sorrowful yet playful retelling of
the Greek myth.
In the play currently being per-
formed at the Hippodrome, writer
Sarah Ruhl, a former Pulitzer nomi-
nee, reinvents the timeless love sto-
ry in modern day.
The play is an enigmatic fairytale
adventure between the underworld
and the land of the living that ques-
tions how to deal with parting with
a loved one. The play opens with a
stunning soft aquamarine colored
set as both Eurydice (Marybeth Gor-
man) and Orpheus (Niall McGinty)
play on the beach and speak poeti-
cally of their love for each other.
Although the
opening scene is
beautiful, it offers
nothing but confu-
sion to the audi-
ence because the
poetic language is
difficult to under-
Gorman stand. However,
the chemistry be-
tween Gorman and McGinty keeps

the costumes and the twisted plot
keep you enthralled in the story,
feeling a great combination of grief,
sorrow, love and delight.
When Eurydice is lured from
her wedding reception by a nasty
man (Rusty Salling) who claims to
have letters from her dead father
(D. Christopher Wert), her life and
her place in the world is forever al-
tered.
Eurydice is reunited with her fa-
ther in the underworld, creating a
gripping relationship that has been
given a second chance.
"What drew me to this play was
the relationship between father and
daughter," Gorman said. "This kind
of relationship is so compelling."
The show offers a brilliant ward-
robe that includes fresh, lively cos-
tumes with bows and flowers. The
attention to detail is obvious, and
the red-clad Lord of the Underworld
even sports red toenail polish.
The set also makes the night-
mare seem like a fantasy with light-
ing that can be as disturbing as it is
lovely. But what's most fantastic is
the raining elevator Eurydice travels
in to get to the underworld, which
encapsulates the magic of the show.
The play is unusual and elicits
a clutter of feelings, but sadness
reigns-as the story focuses on
death and life thereafter.
However, "Eurydice" will leave
the audience pondering over the
storyline and treasuring the brevity
of life.
"A sad story is a beautiful story,"
Gorman said. "And this one makes
me feel more alive."
The play runs eight shows a week
through March 22 and student tick-
ets are available for $12.

Gainesville

fashion week

STEPHANIE GRANADA + AVENUE WRITER

Backstage models
danced to shake off any
last minute jitters while
simultaneously wish-
ing, "Please don't let me
fall."
In the audience
Monday night, some
attendees ignored the
fact that Zach Braff was
among them, while oth-
ers shamelessly circled
the star, talking him
up for pictures and a
good laugh if they were
lucky.
This was the first
fashion show that kicked
off Gainesville Fashion
Week.
In the past, Sharab
Lounge has been the
host of many fashion
and art shows. These
successful events led
Gustavo Bonet of Shar-
ab to team up once again
with local artists, design-
ers and boutiques to cre-
ate a full-blown festivity
of the show. Each show
starts off with Bonet say-
ing, "Happy Gainesville
Fashion Week."
For its debut, GFW
consisted of alterna-
tions between cocktail
parties, art exhibits and
fashion shows revealing
the style of Gainesville's
chicest boutiques, com-
plete with a red carpet
and cocktails.
In true fashion week
spirit, the event was a
bit less crowded than
expected, as cold weath-
er, empty pockets and
midterms kept many
at home. But what the

event lacked in capacity
it made up for in beauti-
ful clothes and art.
Show after show was
filled with colorful mini
dresses and patterned
sheath dresses, sure to
become wardrobe sta-
ples for Gainesville girls
in the summertime.
The main look for
guys consisted of nar-
row jeans, patterned
button-downs, printed
tees and jackets.
Tonight, the event
will come to an end with
the ultimate mix of local
artistry and fashion --
Gainesville's very own
designer Bobby Kelley's
line.
Kelley promises to
blow peoples' minds
tonight with what he
said will be a truly high-
fashion, high-quality
collection.
For his segment, Kel-
ley will present four dif-
ferent collections back
to back. The names he's
chosen for the collec-
tions--Cupcake, Sixties,
Brazil and S&M--give a
glimpse as to the varied
assortment that will be
shown.
Although Gainesville
is filled with talented
artists and fashionis-
tas, rarely do the two
unite. Gainesville Fash-
ion Week effectively
changed that. The town
had the opportunity to
be impressed with the
talent that, often un-
knowingly, surrounds
us every day.

The sky may have finally hit the ground
for the Gators.
Bulldogs center Jarvis Varnado scored
13 points and grabbed eight boards as Mis-
sissippi State (18-12, 8-7 Southeastern Con-
ference) beat UF (21-9, 8-7 SEC) 80-71 on
Wednesday night in Starkville, Miss.
It was the third straight defeat for the
Gators and one that will deliver a crushing
blow to their NCAA Tournament hopes.
"Our weakness got exposed," UF coach
Billy Donovan said. "They threw the ball
into Varnado a few times, and he got to the
basket."
Guard Nick Calathes hasn't had many
bad nights this season, but this was one of
them.
The sophomore played just 28 minutes
and watched from the bench as his team
tried to mount a late comeback.
"(Nick) has to understand how to incor-
porate the rest of the team," Donovan said.
"He wants to take it all on his shoulders, but
there are four other guys that, with his pass-
ing and vision, he can make better."
Calathes finished with 11 points. It was
the first time since Nov. 20 against Southern
Utah that he failed to make a three. Calathes
has knocked down 64 3-pointers this year.
Mississippi State came into the game rid-
ing a three-game losing streak, but the Bull-
dogs' unconventional four-guard lineup
caused problems all night for the Gators,
who shot just 28 percent from the 3-point
line.
"Some of our early threes led to the floor
being unbalanced," Donovan said. "We al-
most took away our own energy at certain
points. We didn't shoot the ball great."
Entering the contest, Mississippi State led
the SEC in 3-pointers made per game at 8.5, Harrison Diamond/ Alligator Staff
while UF was second to last at defending the
3-point line. UF forward Alex Tyus tries to shoot past Tennessee's Brian Williams during the Gators'
79-75 loss to the Volunteers in the O'Connell Center on Sunday.

FAU's 6-run sixth inning leads to UF loss

Junior Tony Davis was the first reliever out

and entered with the bases loaded and one
out. After striking out the first batter he faced,
Davis allowed 2 runs to score on a passed ball

UF coach Kevin O'Sullivan turned to an-

walk by Davis. But Bullock wasn't able to stop
the bleeding either, allowing two singles to

"We were one strike away from getting out
of the inning," O'Sullivan said. "Then, we had
a passed ball, we had a wild pitch, we had a
balk. (Those are) things you don't necessarily
see from older pitchers, but it was very frus-
trating.
"It's not what you hope to see from older
pitchers, but that's what happened tonight."
The Gators were able to respond to the
Owls' big inning with a 2-run inning of their
own to tie the game at 6.

When sophomore guard Nick
Calathes was pulled from the
game with about three minutes
remaining Wednesday night,
coach Billy Donovan was pulling
the plug on the season.
The constant pressure of try-

cited as a cause of death.
The Gators showed promise
early in the season, beginning

included wins in its first three

The team's notable accom-
plishments include an early sea-

POL QUSTIO

Today's question: Will the UF men's basketball team make
the NCAA Tournament after its loss to Mississippi State on
Wednesday?
Previous question: How many games will the UF women's
basketball team win in the SEC Tournament? (see right for
results)

The Bulldogs made 10 threes, shooting 50 percent from
distance.
Coming into the game, Mississippi State led the SEC in
blocked shots at 7.9 per game. Varnado averages 4.8 blocks
per game.
UF went to 6-foot-l0, 250-pound Kenny Kadji early to
match up with the much thinner Varnado.
It seemed to work, as the Gators managed to hold the big
man to just two blocks.

The Bulldogs led 42-33 at halftime, and the Gators are
now 1-6 this season when trailing at the half.
UF came out fast in the second half
and cut Mississippi State's lead to 48-44
with 15 minutes to play.
But Mississippi State rallied back,
Men's shooting its way to a 66-51 lead after a
Basketball 13-3 run with just less than seven min-
utes left. It was the Bulldogs' biggest lead
of the game.
UF's largest lead of the game was just 2 points, and the
team never led in the second half.

Forward Ray Shipman went down with a bloody lip late
in the second half but did return to the game.
Guard Walter Hodge led all scorers with 20 points. It is
the second time he has reached the 20-point mark this sea-
son. The first came in the loss to Georgia on Feb. 14.
The senior was brought to tears during a team huddle
late in the game.
"In all my years of coaching, I've never seen anything like
that," Donovan said.
"He wants to win so bad. He's trying to inspire the
guys."
A radio broadcast contributed to this report.

Gators miss prime opportunities for comeback in eighth, ninth innings

BASE, from page 18

seventh inning, O'Sullivan turned to his staff's
ace, Patrick Keating, to end the threat, and he
did just that as he stranded the two Florida At-
lantic runners.
Keating could not keep the Owls off the
board entirely, though, as he allowed a run off
a sacrifice fly in the eighth that gave the Owls
a 7-6 lead.
While Keating relinquished the lead, he did
not get any help from the Gators' hitters.

In the eighth and ninth innings, UF had
two runners on base but were unable to get
them in.
The team's best chance to win came in the
ninth with runners on first and second with
no outs, but the next three batters went down
in order including a failed sacrifice bunt at-
tempt by Brandon McArthur with no outs.
"It's always the ninth inning that is mag-
nified, but we had a runner at third with less
than two outs with (Mike) Mooney up (in the
third inning), and we didn't drive him in,"
O'Sullivan said.

UF has struggled to hit with runners in
scoring position this season, and it was an is-
sue again Wednesday. The team left five run-
ners in scoring position.
"We got to have that big hit in late innings,"

den Dekker said. "Someone has got to step up
and come through, and it didn't happen to-
night."
Although the bullpen could not hold the
lead, DeSclafani recovered from a poor show-
ing in his first start Feb. 25 when he gave up 5
runs in three innings of work.
He worked 5 1/3 scoreless innings while
striking out seven Wednesday.
"I really wanted to get back out there to-
day and redeem myself," DeSclafani said. "I
worked ahead more and kept (the hitters) off-
balance."

EVAN, from page 18

their respects to a player who may
well never grace the O'Connell Cen-
ter again after this season.
Despite all those positives, brack-
et makers will be unable to look past
the last-second losses to South Caro-
lina and Kentucky, the blowout at

the hands of Tennessee, a maximum
of nine wins in a weak conference
and the embarrassing defeat against
Georgia. UF's 2-7 record in away
games, cemented by Wednesday's
loss to Mississippi State, put the final
nail in the team's coffin.
Mississippi State's 10 3-pointers
and the inside play of Jarvis Varna-
do were too much for UF already

on its deathbed to handle. Every
time the ball went down low to Var-
nado, the scoreboard operator had
his finger on the button that would
put 2 points on the board for the
Bulldogs. More often tihan not, he
pushed that button moments later.
The Gators are survived by the
SEC Tournament, their last-ditch ef-
fort to make it to the Big Dance, but

all odds point to an early exit. UF is
also survived by its son, the 2009-10
basketball season, which promises to
improve on its father's lack of front-
court depth but might be lacking its
most important member in Calathes.
This team's father, the 2007-08 bas-
ketball season, suffered a similar de-
mise, and this team certainly viewed
its dad as a role model.

Funeral services will be held on
March 17 during the opening round
of the National Invitation Tourna-
ment.
All are welcome to attend, but the
team's relatives do not expect a large
audience. Any signs of life should be
disregarded.
Rest in peace, 2008-09 UF basket-
ball season.

SANTA FE BASEBALL

Saints open conference season with shutout victory

By JESSICA ETTER
Alligator Writer

Walking away with a confer-
ence victory on Wednesday was
something Santa Fe College base-
ball coach Johnny Wiggs and his
team focused on.
After losing four straight
games, the Saints were deter-
mined not to start conference play
with a loss. They didn't.
SFC (10-11, 1-0 Mid-Florida
Conference) defeated St. Johns

River Community College 10-0
when a mercy rule ended the
game after 6 1/2 innings.
"We talked about letting go
of what has happened in non-
conference games and reminded
them that we are going to look
at conference stats," Wiggs said.
"That is what we care about, our
conference record."
It appeared SFC's starting
pitcher, Bobby Bolling, was go-
ing to continue the losing streak
during the first inning when two

Vikings got on base quickly. After
catching a runner stealing sec-
ond and tagging another at home
plate, the Saints
managed to es-
cape the inning
without allow-
ing a run.
"Like I al-
ways say, great
wiggs baseball starts
on the mound,"
Wiggs said. "Bolling has been our
most consistent guy, and that's

why he started Game 1 of confer-
ence play."
The Saints began making their
move during the bottom of the
fifth, when the entire order came
to the plate. SFC had six hits and
6 runs during the inning, pushing
their lead to 7-0 and essentially
sealing SJRCC's fate.
Freshman catcher Brett Boze-
man hit a double in the top of the
sixth inning, driving in the final 2
runs for the Saints.
After six innings, the Saints

led 10-0, and the Vikings had
one more opportunity to cut the
lead before the game was called.
SJRCC was unable to pull togeth-
er during the top of the seventh
inning and ended the game on a
strikeout.
"We had errorless baseball, and
when you have errorless baseball,
you are going to be successful,"
Wiggs said. "We looked great out
there today."
SFC will face SJRCC again on
Friday in Palatka at 4 p.m.
